### 5.7.1.2. Code: CODE

The <CODE> element indicates an example of code, typically rendered in a mono-spaced font. The <CODE> element is intended for short words or phrases of code; the <PRE> block structuring element (5.5.2, "Preformatted Text: PRE") is more appropriate for multiple-line listings. For example:

          The expression <code>x += 1</code>
          is short for <code>x = x + 1</code>.
